Rugby was brill, I actually enjoyed it. Although I don't think anyone can deny I've watched two of the lousiest games: the England and Holland friendly and the England and France Six Nations (France came from behind to win by one point all on England penalties. Hey, I'm a Redskins fan, I'm used to that!) So, anyway, I'm picking that up and acclimating and all that....

I'm in good spirits because my first set of experiments is going really well! I managed to get a flux rate that was in a straight line, as it was supposed to. The masters student who tried it before me had a curved line which means either (a) she is a supreme idiot or (b) I am an infallible laboratory goddess. Of course neither of those is true, but my senior student has stopped looking at me like I'm an idiot, and I'm starting to feel less like an idiot, so it's all good.
